Chapter 776 The Astute Elders

He received shocking news: Ma Junjie's parents demanded that Ma Junjie marry the girl with glasses, immediately.

Yesterday, Ma Junjie brought the girl with glasses home to deceive his parents, but the girl was very capable, both in public and in the kitchen, and she completely charmed Ma Junjie's parents. The two elders then demanded that the two of them get married as soon as possible without any delay.

Ma Junjie and the girl with glasses had only a business relationship, not a real romantic one, so naturally he was unwilling to agree.

Upon hearing this, Mr. and Mrs. Ma became furious and threatened to kill themselves to force the two to marry.

The two sides are currently at a stalemate.

Well, this matter has already exceeded Chu Fang's expectations.

Two shallow dimples appeared on Zhong Tingyue's cheeks, adding a touch of playfulness and cuteness to her stunning beauty: "Mr. Chu's plan has failed."

"At a time like this, don't make sarcastic remarks." Chu Fang rolled his eyes at the woman.

He quickly got up, dressed, and then rushed to Ma Junjie's house.

Ma Junjie had rented an apartment near Yateng Yige, so it wasn't far and he arrived quickly.

As soon as he stepped out of the elevator, he saw the girl with glasses leaning against the door. When she saw Chu Fang, she shrugged and said, "I'm too perfect."

"Can't you make something with flaws?" Chu Fang was speechless.

"No, perfection is my defining characteristic," the girl with glasses refused. "Um... Young Master Chu, can I ask you something?"

"ask."

Will I be able to get my wages?

"Wait a minute."

"OK!"

As Chu Fang entered the room, the first thing that caught his eye was a table full of delicious dishes, representing all sorts of cuisines.

He turned around and glared at the girl with glasses.

You're such a good actor!

The girl with glasses prepared the meal early in the morning to appease Mr. and Mrs. Ma. Now, she has won them over and made them accept her as their daughter-in-law.

"You two must get married!"

"Yes, otherwise your mother and I will jump off here."

Chu Fang looked in the direction of the sound and saw Ma's parents sitting by the window, one leg dangling outside, threatening Ma Junjie with their own lives.

Chu Fang suddenly felt a chill down his spine, and then met Ma Junjie's complicated gaze. He grinned awkwardly.

It's not my fault. How was I supposed to know that your parents wanted you to get married so much?

I meant well and didn't expect anything in return.

He stepped forward and said, "Um... elders, please come down quickly, it's cold outside."

After saying this, Chu Fang wanted to slap himself.

Today, the temperature in Shanghai is 35 degrees Celsius, which is far from cold.

"Mr. Chu, you be the judge." Mrs. Ma said seriously, "My son, your subordinate, is dating a young girl, but he doesn't want to marry her. What kind of behavior is that?"

“Exactly,” Ma’s father said. “Any relationship that doesn’t aim for marriage is just playing around. In our time, Ma Junjie would have been criticized and denounced.”

Chu Fang coughed a few times: "Times have changed."

"What? Is today different?" Ma's mother didn't give Chu any face.

Not really.

"Heh..." Father Ma chuckled dismissively.

Chu Fang: "..."

Ma Junjie said, "Dad, you haven't been discharged from the hospital for long, take care of yourself."

“I’m not your dad, you’re my dad.”

Ma Junjie: "... ..."

The two tried to persuade their elders, but the latter remained resolute and refused to budge.

I won't come down until I get married.

Ma Junjie's attitude was also firm: it was impossible for him to marry the girl with glasses.

The two sides were stuck like that.

Mr. and Mrs. Horse looked at each other. Mrs. Horse said, "We can come down, but you have to agree to one condition."

Chu Fang's spirits lifted: "You speak."

Ma Junjie wanted nothing more than to kick Chu Fang.

I haven't even agreed yet, but you've already done so.

Did you ask for my opinion?

Yesterday, Chu Fang was just spouting nonsense, which led to this situation today.

Ma's mother said, "Next, we're going to arrange blind dates for you. You can't reject the girls you're going on blind dates with."

"Huh?" Chu Fang was taken aback.

The girl with glasses shrugged and said, "Mom, what did you say? I'm still here."

“Good girl, stop acting. We’ve known for a long time that you and Ma Junjie were just putting on an act,” Ma’s mother said.

Mr. Ma looked at his son and said, "Whether it's okay or not, just say the word."

Ma Junjie sighed: "Okay, I agree."

Mr. and Mrs. Ma looked at each other, a smug smile appearing on their faces. Then they came downstairs and waved their hands, saying, "Let's eat, let's eat. The food will get cold if we don't eat soon."

Chu Fang: "..."

Seeing that the two elders seemed completely unaffected, he pondered for a few seconds, his expression serious and profound, and said to Ma Junjie, "Your parents are cunning and scheming."

He reviewed the entire process.

The two elders clearly realized that Ma Junjie and the girl with glasses were not actually boyfriend and girlfriend. Taking advantage of this important matter, they took a step further and demanded that the two get married, even though they knew that it was impossible for Ma Junjie and the girl with glasses to get married.

The two elders compromised again, demanding that Ma Junjie go on blind dates unconditionally.

This back-and-forth maneuvering had Ma Junjie completely outmaneuvered.

Several strategies were employed in this process, including turning the tables on the enemy, using the self-inflicted injury tactic, and feigning indifference to lure the enemy into a trap.

Ma Junjie gave him a deep look before going to eat.

"Mr. Chu, what are you standing there for? Come and have some food with us."

"Okay."

At the dinner table, the girl with glasses served food to the elderly couple: "How did you figure out I was an imposter?"

She couldn't understand this.

She believed she had done everything a daughter-in-law should do.

Ma's mother said, "I am also a daughter-in-law, and I serve my mother-in-law. Every time I serve my mother-in-law, I have the urge to kill her, but I have no choice but to serve her. But you... don't have that kind of endurance and feeling of having no choice but to do it, so I judge that you two are not boyfriend and girlfriend."

The girl with glasses sighed: "In the end, I was too perfect, so perfect that I revealed my flaws."

Chu Fang: "..."

After dinner, the two elders went for a walk, Ma Junjie went to work, and Chu Fang took the girl with glasses to an entertainment club.

"Well... Young Master Chu, you are very perceptive. I have done everything I could, but things have not turned out this way as I wished." After getting out of the car, the girl with glasses rubbed her palms together.

"Card number," Chu Fang said.

Then the girl with glasses quickly gave her bank card number. Upon seeing the two million yuan deposited into her account, she jumped up and said, "Yay! Young Master Chu, please come to me again if you have business like this next time. I'm a professional."

"You're a professional my ass!"

Chu Fang said angrily, then revved the engine and drove away.

The girl with glasses stood there, beaming with joy.

"Oh, Qianyu, why are you back? Weren't you pretending to be my girlfriend?" A colleague was surprised to see her.

"It's over," the girl with glasses replied.

"That's it? You didn't even get the money?" another colleague asked. "Impossible, that's not how Young Master Chu does things."

"Yes, Young Master Chu is very generous."

The girl with glasses explained, "It's not like that."

He then told his girlfriends what had happened that day, and after listening, the girls looked at each other with a knowing look.

"This money is too easy to make."

Why wasn't it me who went?

“Actually, Qianyu, you’re wrong,” a colleague said. “If I were you, I would make this fake relationship real, marry that Boss Ma, and thus climb the social ladder with Young Master Chu, enjoying endless wealth and luxury for the rest of my life.”

The girl with glasses, Qianyu, waved her hand and said, "Don't even think about it. They're not from the same world as us."

He paused for a moment and then said, "Come on, it's my treat today, let's go eat."

"Yay!"

... ...

Chu Fang drove to Yateng Yige and entered Ma Junjie's office, but the latter was focused on his work and didn't want to talk to him.

"Hehe..." Chu Fang sat opposite him, laughing awkwardly, "It's not my fault, it's just that your mother is too shrewd, unlike my mother who is easily fooled."

Ma Junjie looked away from his work and at Chu Fang: "Don't give me any more bad advice in the future."

"I'm a good person," Chu Fang said with a serious expression.

Ma Junjie opened his mouth as if to say something, but finally sighed: "Sigh, let's just let this go. I don't want to pursue it. But you have to pay for the mistake you made. You have to come with me when I go on blind dates."

"Why should I?!" Chu Fang retorted loudly, but seeing Ma Junjie's deep gaze, he nodded and said, "Fine, fine, I'll go with you on your blind date. We're brothers."

“Let’s go.” Ma Junjie stood up.

Where are you going?

"Blind date."

Chu Fang: "..."
